Visiting hospital the other day and listening to hospital radio I heard in the course of a short period
The Boomtown Rats- I hate Mondays-"And the lesson today is how to die!"
and
The Beatles Eleanor Rigby-
Eleanor Rigby died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt
From his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
I thought it was perhaps the most inappropriate playlist for a hospital BUT I'm sure that GNers could come up with something better. So please post your suggestions. I know it's black humour but sometimes that gets you through.

Loved all your great suggestions. A fantastic laugh and great reminder of some good songs out there.
For my cremation I have requested 'Feeling Hot hot hot!
Want to put a smile on family and friends faces as I depart - hopefully not for a long while yet smile

Not exactly inappropriate but sitting in the oncology waiting room when appointments were delayed - Take That and Patience.

I want don't fear the reaper at my funeral and my mum had its over. It's sad when people want a particular tune/song played and family refuse surely you should accept their last requests. I have a whole list of songs to be played and no talk/sermon /eulogy at my funeral. grin

I was a DJ with Barnet Hospital Radio for some time and did play the theme from MASH, with vocals. Someone came rushing into the studio to point out it was A Bad Idea.

In the early 1970s, I had a motorbike accident and ended up with a fractured femur, fractured wrist and cracked kneecap. My aunt got the hospital radio to play 'Terry' a song about a boy who was killed on a motorbike ...

We lived in ireland for a few years and I was in hospital waiting on a procedure and fell asleep - i woke to three “dongs” and the priest came over the tannoy and gave mass - for one brief moment I thought I had died!!! Lol
